What tests are done for endometriosis? I had a transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound.

Patient's question:

Suffered from the disease for over a year, 3 to 4 days after menstruation, a swelling will appear between the perineum and anus, about the size of a chicken egg yolk. It will go back after 4 days. I went to Ha Er Hospital and they recommended surgery.

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, the endometrium covers the uterine cavity. If, due to certain factors, the endometrium grows in other parts of the body, it can become endometriosis. This ectopic endometrium, both histologically and functionally, not only has endometrial glands but also endometrial stroma surrounding it. Functionally, it shows significant changes with estrogen levels, varying with the menstrual cycle, but only partially under the influence of progesterone, producing a small amount of "menstruation" and causing various clinical manifestations. It can be treated surgically.
